4.4
Great campus support and learning opportunities.
Tips: Setting into college was a good experience. At first, I needed some time to adapt to the new culture and teaching style, but the supportive faculty and friendly students made the transition easier. I didn't apply for scholarships, but I found the facilities and resources provided to be very helpful for academics and professional growth. The campus environment feels welcoming, and the opportunities for learning and networking are excellent. Overall, I am satisfied with both my course and the university experience.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport system is excellent, with buses and trains providing quick and affordable connections between the campus and the city. The services are frequent, reliable, and easily trackable via apps. Student discounts also make it very cost-effective, so I rarely need taxis or private transportation.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus has security staff and CCTV, which makes it reasonably safe, but some areas feel less secure at night due to poor lighting. While I haven't faced major issues, I feel that more frequent patrols and awareness programs would improve the overall sense of safety for students.

Maynooth University is one of the best, offering various cultural experiences.
Tips: Students should be thoroughly prepared for a completely different learning environment compared to studies in India. While I did not personally take advantage of any scholarships, the university typically offers scholarships based on the chosen program, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 euros off the tuition fee.
Likes (Part time work): There are many part-time jobs available in Maynooth, making it easy to find work if you're proactive. The average pay is around 13.75 per hour. It's also possible to balance academics with part-time work, as classes are typically held for a maximum of 3-4 days a week.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many companies in Ireland that offer sponsorships. Software developers can expect salaries ranging from 35,000 to 60,000, while business analysts earn between 32,000 and 55,000. Salary packages vary based on experience, sector, and location, but teaching and healthcare roles generally offer higher entry salaries.

A safe space to interact and collaborate with like minded individuals.
Tips: Maynooth offers a friendly, inclusive environment with strong academic support. Be prepared for independent learning and apply early for accommodation. The transition was smooth; people are warm and helpful. I did notice a shift to a more independent and discussion-based academic style. I didn't receive any scholarship.
Likes (Safety): I felt very secure on campus with few incidents, but I docked one point due to occasional late-night bus delays and poorly lit side streets off campus. Apart from campus security, there are emergency blue-light call stations around campus, a 24/7 student-support hotline, and well-marked walking routes with CCTV coverage. Dublin's locals are incredibly friendly and helpful when you're lost. However, I once witnessed a minor pickpocket attempt on a crowded Luas tram, so always keep valuables secure.
Dislikes (Internships): There's a noticeable lack of advertised internship opportunities through the university, making it hard to secure relevant placements. Career Services offers occasional workshops and drop-in CV reviews, but one-to-one support is limited, and you largely have to network independently. Most internships posted aren't tailored to my specific discipline, so I've had to seek external industry contacts to find suitable roles.

MSc Business Management - Batch of 2025
Offered by Maynooth University
4.6
The campus is quite student friendly and safe.
Tips: I will suggest that students learn how to search for the best articles online, which will help students during assignment time. Learn more about academic writing, as it helps a lot with assignments. Try to be friendly with everyone, as it will help you to be a good student. The faculty is extremely understanding and will assist you with your projects.
Likes (Safety): The management of the university ensures the safety of both students and the campus itself. The management regularly conducts fire drills, and they take student safety seriously by making sure all their security practices align with those of the local police department.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food at Maynooth is expensive. There are a few places on campus that offer a wide selection of foods, including pizza, Indian, sandwiches, etc. , but they can be price. Plus, the food is on the greasy side, which isn't everyone preference. It's definitely cheaper to eat off-campus.

Great University with good faculty.
Tips: I got a scholarship and applied through the PAC website while applying for admission. I changed my dressing style and some food, but I have adapted to some Irish food. I have experienced great friendships and a helping nature from the students and faculty.
Likes (Value for money): The university is good. Good faculty gives us good projects to work on for group work, and we get to work with students from other countries. The faculty are from different countries and have experience in teaching. They assist us with the projects and help us.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The canteen has Irish food and things like chips and cool drinks, but it's in the same price range as the places outside of the university. I understand that the students at the university are mostly from Ireland, but there should be more food options for the students who came from different countries.
